They're usually the people who tell you that they're overseas (Nigeria, south africa, etc) and if you send them the money or a deposit, they'll have the car shipped to you. It's a waste of time emailing them.
If any deals sounds too good to be true, then you better believe it (most of the time).

I'm an US Air Force Sgt currently stationed in Alaska. And the car is here with me.The price is $3,700.00 including shipping from AK and delivery to your home address.The price is reduced for an immediate sale.If you decide to buy this vehicle and need further information please get back to me as soon as you can.
Thank you!

____________________________
I will have the car shipped from Alaska by an US Air Force cargo plane so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Also I will arrange for a truck to transport the car to your home address or, if you like, you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. Shipping will take 3-5 days, depending on your location.Shipping will be door to door,to your home address,somebody must be home when the car arrives to sign for the reception.The car will arrive with all the papers and documents required for registration and the keys. The clear title and the bill of sale will be already signed by me.
The payment will be done through eBay.You will send the money to eBay and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the car, you will receive it and you will have 5 days for inspection, both the car and the paperwork and the option to accept or reject the car.The inspection time period will begin as soon as you sign for receiving the car at your requested address.During all this time eBay will hold the money into a trust account.So, this is not a blind transaction,you can see the car before decided to buy it.If you are satisfied with the car and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and they will release the money to me. If the car is not as advertised and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions asked, and shipping back the car will be my concern. I think this is more than fair for the both of us.Please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car and make sure everything is as agreed.
If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your full name,phone# ( home and cell) and the address where you want the car to be delivered to and I will initiate the transaction with eBay. You will receive all the transaction details from them.I will appreciate an answer as soon as possible.
Thank you
Jake

Where do I send $? This is me <<<
____________________________
The payment will be done through eBay. I'm under Contract with eBay which states that we can close the deal using their service.Very Important, Only after you will receive the car, eBay will release the money to me.
The money needs to be sent per ebay's instruction, you will then give payment details to eBay only. After they verify funds, I will be notified to proceed with the shipping instructions. Upon the delivery and verification of the correct vehicle, you will notify ebay of a successful transaction, so they can release the funds to me.
In order to start the deal I need YOUR FULL NAME and SHIPPING ADDRESS so I can register the transaction with eBay. They will let you know what you have to do for the payment.
Thanks

Let me inform you that the amount to be paid to ebay is $2990,the balance being paid in cash once you receive the vehicle. This will be the transport taxes and the insurance for the transport ($710).So when you receive the vehicle you'll give the delivery person the remaining amount in cash.
I've sent our details to ebay earlier today. Can you please check your email for the invoice.It may occur that your e-mail doesn't support HTML language. So please check your junk/spam/ messages, the invoice may have ended there because of the ever increasing filters of the e-mails nowadays.
Let me know
